Today: Rain, dark rain.

My pay just got cut this month.....sianz...

Makes me think again...
What is the value of money?
What is money? Is it a form of wealth? Or is it just an illusion?

Money begins from ages ago, maybe even earlier. Prehistoric people uses rare gems and huge rocks to represent money, in order to get what they want, e,g fish, meat, skin. But before money exists, people uses trading to exchange for what they need, 2 fish for a chicken etc. But that is not a standard way of trading, people need to standardise the "value" of their belongings, so a "universal" item was invented, money!

From then on, people use "money" to trade for other things they desire and ti diversify, different countries have different "currency" and that lead to old system of trading again...stupid...changing money for money so they can change it again for items...haha. It is also this "money" that caused the human nature to once again decline. Greed and the thirst for money led to many crimes against human nature, even fathers (those in churches) can forsake the belief for $5m.

There's a saying "money is the root of all evil", I must agree to it in some sense that a tiny printed piece of paper can bring about so much changes (i really must admire the one who invented it), think about this, we're all controlled by pieces of paper that might not even have worth, why do i say that?
What is worth? Worth is something universally recognised, money is not. Animals don't recognise money but they recognise food, fish, fruits, and human too recognise them cos its the ultimate things they'll need, they can't survive without food but can without money. You can lots of gold but still starved to death. Think of stranded on an islolated island without money and you'll know what's worth. Worth are things we must have in direct order to survive, we can't eat or breath money, we trade money for food and maybe in future, even the air we breath.

So as a conclusion, although we are simply too dependent on that paper, we still must know what we basically need in order to move on, God made fruits and berries but he did not make money cos he know we do not need it to survive. Haha...so much for now. END.
